Created attachment 279315 [details, diff] firefox-gcc-no-avx.patch checking whether the C compiler (i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=core2 -Wno-return-type -w -mno-avx ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. Used GCC is 4.3.4. It obviously fails to build because of -mno-avx being appended unconditionally. Here's the patch for Firefox, other posibly affected ebuilds (grepped them quickly) are: mail-client/thunderbird-3.3_alpha3-r2.ebuild mail-client/thunderbird-5.0.ebuild net-libs/xulrunner-2.0.1-r1.ebuild www-client/icecat-5.0.ebuild Btw., could you rename the "methodjit" use flag to "jit" as used in other packages, please!? The bazillion custom use flags are not very convenient.

The bazillion custom use flags are not very convenient. Carlo, we will not rename as mozilla products do not disable all of jit which is what is implied. As far as mno-avx we will get it fixed.
Fixed in fx-6/tb-6 thanks for reporting.
